Me being genuinely STUMPED by some of these stages. I missed this game as a kid, and could not wrap my mind around Godzilla being unable to jump. My first play through ended on the second stage of the down route. The other (going right first) route was…

It’s early 2000 and I’m a preteen walking around K-mart with my mom when I see the Pokémon Trading Card Game for Game Boy. I was pretty familiar with Pokémon cards but not yet familiar with how to play the actual card game. I somehow managed to get my mom…

Bionic Commando Socials Round Up

There wasn’t a whole lotta action for Bionic Commando. Heck, I didn’t even get very far in it. I still plan on finishing it…eventually. First off, I felt the need to point out how annoying this cable headed man was. The guy’s telescoping hat does no damage…

April 2026 – Godzilla (1990)

Ready your atomic breath, folks. This month’s game is Godzilla! They’ve been around for over 70 years and have starred in a ton of video games, but none are perhaps more of a departure from the usual smash n’ bash than this odd little arcade puzzle/action…

Just the fact I’m controlling a dude named Nathan “Rad” Spencer feels so early nineties; if you grew up in that era, you definitely had things marketed to you in a very over-the-top manner. The Simpsons’ take on that corporate tactic via Poochie or…

Bionic Comandown – Rick V.

I know having the enemies never ducking is a trope in a lot of old video games. I just found the first couple of levels so easy just because you have the ability to crouch down and the baddies don’t. I believe on Area 5 some of the enemies learned to do…

Going to try something new here. We always post something about the game-of-the-month on our Bluesky/Insta/Discord at least twice a week. We figured at some point we should post the more notable things shared on the website. So, here’s some junk about…

Spanky’s Quest is a puzzler/platformer from Natsume that was released in 1992. It’s a unique game with an equally unique title that was the source of many jokes from me and my friends, who were at the perfect age to revel in a monkey named “Spanky” and the…
